According to the literature, soybean cultivation originated from Wang-Gong (B.C. 685-643) of China who brought it from northeast Asia, for the first time. FUKUDA, of Japan divided soybean into three species-the wild, the cultivated and the intermediate. From the result of that study, he concluded that the soybean originated in northeast Asia. But Wang Kum Rung of China insisted that soybean originated in Hwa-Nam, because the soybean is a shortday plant and the agricultural history of Hwa-Nam, south of China, is older than that of northeast Asia. However, agriculture in northeast Asia had been already begun about B.C. 4000-6000 and the origin of culture cannot be decided only by photosensitivity. It has been proved that soybeans found in Korea were same as the ones of B.C. 2000. The soybeans of northeast Asia meet the conditions of the probable place of origin of cultivated crops established by Vabilov. Accordingly it is concluded that soybean has been originated from northeast Asia.
금석문(金石文)이란 금속이나 돌로 만든 각종 유물에 기획된 명문(銘文)을 말하는데 갑골류, 도기류, 철폐(鐵幣)류 등을 포함하는 경우도 있다. 우리나라 금석문 251점 중 '차(茶)'자가 기록된 것을 조사 연구하였던 바 비문 16점, 와당 1점, 도자기 1점 이었으며 시대별로는 신라시대 5점, 고려시대 13점 이었으며 최초로 기록된 차(茶)자는 전남 장흥군 보림사 보조선사 창성탑비(884년)였다. 그리고 종교적으로는 불교와 관련된 것이 대부분이었으며 금, 향, 구슬 등 여러가지 귀중품 중 차(茶)를 최상의 것으로 취급하였으며 왕으로부터 하사받은 경우가 많았다. 이 연구를 통하여 우리나라 차문화(茶文化)가 신라시대, 고려시대에 번성하였음을 알 수 있었다.
Among the 160 documentes on Food menu in the Royal palace of Chosun Dynasty, 137 are cherished by the Academy of Korean study (old Chang Su Gack) and 23 by privates. We can find the other 2 documentes in biliography but they do not exist now. Most of them were written in Korean in the period between 1863 and 1937. Through them, we can learn how to set a meal table for people who served on wedding feast, the birth of Royal family and the national events, and several small feasts and ancestrial rites of Royal palace. And the food menu in them are based on Korean food.
The results obtained by survey on 599 respondents of different age groups for preference of 84 prepared foods were subjected to statistical principal component analysis, factor analysis, analysis of variance, scheffe verification, and discriminant analysis so as to find a structure of preference for foods. The results may be summarized as follows: 1. The results of the factor analysis indicate that 84 prepared food items may be classified into 3 groups and that by knowing an indvidual's preference to one prepared food, one can presume his preference to the others in the same group without carrying out actual test. 2. The results from an analysis of variance showed that most of primary school children extremely liked snacks, seniors liked Korean cooking, primary school children and collegians had weaknesses for western cookings while kindergarden children and adults over 50 years old disliked them.
With a view to making comparative study and promoting the interchange of food culture between Korea and Japan, a sensory test was given to 60 female college students (30 Koreans and as many Japanese) in order to find out differences in preference of various teas between the two nations. The findings are as follows: 1. The correlation between each specific tea and total evaluation: Significant level of high positive correlation was indicated in case of color, taste, and aftertaste by both Koreans and Japanese. In case of odor, and flavor the Koreans indicated insignificant level of nought, and the Japanese significant level of high negative correlation one. In sweetness and total evaluation the Koreans indicated positive correlation and the Japanese insignificant level of nought. 2. Comparison of preference of various teas by the Koreans and the Japanese 1) Ginseng tea A and Ginseng tea B As to Ginseng tea A and Ginseng tea B the Koreans liked odor best while the Japanese liked flavor best. In general preference the Koreans liked them better than the Japanese, and both groups indicated significant level (p <.001). 2) Black tea A: As to Black tea A the Koreans liked odor best while the Japanese taste, and in general preference the Japanese liked them better than the Koreans and both groups indicated significant level (p <.001). 3) Black tea B. As to Black tea B the Koreans liked odor best while the Japanese color, and in general preference the Japanese liked them better than the Korean and both groups indicated significant level (p <.01). 4) Coffee A. The Koreans liked odor best while the Japanese flavor, and neither of the groups indicated significant level (p <.05). 5) Coffee B. The Koreans liked color best while the Japanese flavor, and neither of the groups indicated significant level (p <.05). 6) Green tea A and Green tea B. As to Green tea A and Green tea B, the Koreans liked odor best while the Japanese taste.

The purpose of this study was to investigate preferences of foreign athletes staying in the Athletic Village for '86 Asian Olympic Games for Korean traditional foods as served in the restaurant.

국내 도시락 공장을 조사 분석하여 대량생산에 적합토록 그 문제점을 보완 개선했다. 특히 식품위생법과 건축법상의 공장허가 사항을 고려해서 3가지 면적별로 모델 도시락 공장을 설계하였다. 작업장은 하나의 개방공간에 배치된 기기류를 오염지역, 준청결지역, 청결지역으로 나누어 작업중의 2차오염 문제를 배제시켰고, 기기류는 밥급속냉각기, 냉장고 겸 냉각기를 설치하여 위생안전성을 부여했으며, 청결실에 멸균(집진)기를 설치하여 완제품의 초기 미생물 농도를 줄이고 2차오염 요인을 제거함으로써 위생적인 도시락 생산유통이 가능한 도시락 생산공장을 설계하였다.
This study is to examine the origin of Andong sikhe and to introduce the making process of it. The following facts are found after consulting literature and doing field-work to find out the origin of Andong sikhe. Andong sikhe is a kind of so-sikhe develolped as a sweet beverage, the making process of which is to ferment the mixture of boiled rice, radish slices, and red pepper extract with malt liquid. So-sikhe is made by fermenting with malt the mixture of boiled rice, radish slices, red pepper powder and flavorings such as a shallot, a garlic and salt, and o-sikhe is made by adding fish to the ingredients used to make so-sikhe. So-sikhe is distributed on the coastal areas of the East Sea and the inland areas adjacent to them as o-sikhe is. It is presumed that so-sikhe was introduced to Korea by the same way as o-sikhe was introduced eastward from the regions around Thailand by sea. It is also presumed that Andong sikhe has been developed into its present type after the second half of the 18th century when red pepper was introduced to Korea and then widely used.
